which all supports the theory that its overfueling, or fueling in the correct place, boost leak test is first, as everyones said.

That sounds odd, familiar but odd. Similar sort of noise mine used to make when the fan shroud dropped, and the viscous would rub. I think you've caused an air leak by disturbing something boost leak test first and foremost, I recon.

on wards and upwards.

Gone now im afraid, I do however have the part you wanted somewhere still.

last year was odd, weather was a bit overcast and cool but I still came home hot and sunburnt :s

I certainly wouldn't keep driving it, any bits of metal getting in and floating around the oil system is bad news. Might be worth dropping a few drops of I think its diesel down the bore and retesting this should seal the ring temporarily, and give you a false positive. This can then confirm its the ring rather than the valves. You will get a miss with the plug getting oil fouled, however if you have melted the piston or killed the ring there must have been a causative at the beginning. It seems unusual to have cylinder 4 fail, its more typical for it to be the rear two, wouldn't be surprised if there was a second fault in that cylinder. Engine rebuild or replacement im afraid bud.

Looks so much better with a fresh lick of paint in the bay, looking forward to the mapping, think your going to be happy with the power hyke and responsiveness with all that gear.

I was starting to wonder yeah, do you want to drop me a mail or a call steve in regards to our discussion last week, wanna get on top of things within time.

just run that damn vg already, stop being a negative nelly lol.

gaz has been really busy moving house this week mate, drop him a pm and im sure he will get back to you.

Horns on zeds are crap and stop woring for a hobby anyway, try cleaning the connections and blowing it out, it might be full of rain water that what often happens, or the earth gets crud.

boost leak check is the first step really, that will revel split or disconnected hoses etc, in regard's to the sender though id be surprised if you can blow more than about two 2 psi with your lungs...don't forget it wont work with the ignition off. Also silly question but you arte checking the gauge whilst driving right? you will struggle to build any positive boost at idle, only vac pressure.

either the boost sender is screwed or the hose has popped off, if it wasnt boosting it would drive like a pancake.

twice as much as id want to pay and athird of what you want, i was going to sell my built 2.0 sohc pinto which are uber desriable for the kit car lot, rs200's you name it, proven 130rwhp but i couldnt get pennies for it really, its upsetting how little thiat sort of thing is worth. I ended up stripping down the block to the short block with the head off and sold sections of it, i made more on the cam than what i was being offered for the whole damn block.

Thoughts and sympathies to the family and friends.

That's an impressive budget list, at that rate throwing in some sport 500's for gt525's would be a negligent price.

I think the thing with 12 written on it is the oem Nissan alarm or central locking something like that I believe, might be wrong though.

just get a one piece, it probably is the prop out of balance but that will feel like a shaking on acceleration. I guess you will get a touch more road noise through those collars.

Happy Birthday Gaz!!!!!!!!! good luck with the move, im pretty busy tonight but if your really stuck and need a hand for five minutes gimme a shout.

I'm sort of on the scav for a tt subframe no arms required etc just the frame and diff carrier....so if you find yourself having nothing to do but scrap it let me know :)

half as much again once the suns out lol.

you just loosen the one behind the pulley as you have then loosen the one on the face of the sort of crescent shaped piece, then use the one of the far left of the pump at the end of the crescent piece to wind it in and out. You may find it needs some encouragement to move its a damn tight fit.

If you kept marines and you were on http://www.ultimatereef.com that would be different my god theres some seriously intelligent people on there, and thousand's and thousand's of people and quite a few morons lol.

You wouldn't regret it, I could take you out in my tt somewhen if you liked

Don't, they were the ones I was thinking of, they have very little experience with the z32, im not going say things in the open forum but they have only really worked on two zeds one was martins and one was mine, they did bog all to mine couldn't even diagnose that the maf was faulty, it took jeff about 20 seconds to work that out not an exaggeration, they had it for three days and concluded that the cats were blocked and the block was ****ed. Martins car well I wasn't there so I cant say. I wouldn't let them touch mine again.
